take last week, and that it is boxes
and barrels he is rolling at the drug
store instead of pills. Jim is very

We take pleasure in directing
the attention of the STANDARD read
ers to the display advertisement of
O. M. Thurman & Sons in this issue.

hats, ETC., will always find the latest
and handsomest goods in their stock.
They have an elegant stock of new
spring clothing, hats, ladies dress
goods, white goods, etc. No house
in McMinnville can display more
select line of goods.
A horse belonging to Mr.. Atwell,
the Smithville mail carrier, became
frightened at the omnibus last Mon
day and ran away. He broke loose
from the hitching post in front of
Maddux's saddle shop, and after a
lively raceup Main Streetand around
the park, ran the spring wagon to
which he was attached against one Of
the trees on the Warren House cor
ner. He left the wagon and harness
with the tree, both considerably
worsted by the accident.
